As most of you who follow my blog know, I have fallen in love with a little baby girl named Angel. You can go back and read previous blogs about her and where she comes from. Anyways, I just wanted to give a short update on how she is doing at Nelly’s house. First I have to say that Nelly has done an AMAZING job. We would be so lost without her and she just is incredible. Every time I turn around she is opening her house to more at risk children. She accepts them with an open heart and open arms. She loves them. She gives the hope because of the Awesome God she serves. She is an inspiration. A few of our students have been doing their ministry internship with her and they have been doing a great job as well. I love that they are there. Plus, it gives me another excuse to go and visit to see all the wonderful children, especially Angel.
On Tuesday, Nelly wanted to throw a baby shower/ Christmas for all the children. Some of us AIM people were there, but we also joined together with some YWAM people and local people from the community that love Nelly. It was actually great to see some many friends there from all over Jeffreys Bay. Everyone did a great job of providing things for the children and also for Nelly. I think everyone had such a great time, and it was priceless to see the smiles on the children’s faces.
With that said, I got to spend some extra time with Angel. She is just about 9 months now and she is just progressing so well. She just keeps on packing on the pounds. I love it. She still can really sit up by herself or crawl, but I think its coming soon! She attempted a few times by kicking up her baby bottom, but just isn’t there yet. She is just doing so well and I’m so encouraged by God just continuing to provide for her.
Last week I brought Angel’s mother and grandmother (Gloria and Esther) for a visit and they were overwhelmed at how beautiful their little girl looks! It was good for them to be able to see her and know that she is being cared for. I think it was difficult for them to leave, but Gloria still trusts in the decision she has made for now…and so do I. God is working. God is doing something and I can’t wait to see what it is. He has saved this precious little girl for Himself. Oh, and a few weeks ago Gloria showed up at church! Awesome! God is good.
I will post pictures soon:)
